Rockets won 6 in a row and Clippers lost 6 in a row. Most people expect Rockets to win but I thought the exact opposite. This must be the game that both streaks are over. Rockets were close to win the game but Harden said the last word. He played like his Rockets days against Rockets ironically.
This Clippers should be in higher places, since that bad streak is over I believe they'll climb up fast. They promise so much with that roster. Harden is back to normal, Westbrook accepted his bench role, with Kawhi and George they should be in top 5 in the West.

I think his fight against Houston was quite breathtaking. They were very close to beating the Clippers with Paul George, James Harden and Westbrook, and James Harden wrote the fate of the match until the last second. With the last 5-6 seconds left in the game, James Harden took a step back from outside the line and made that three-pointer and won the foul. As I said, Houston could have had a chance for the Rockets if it wasn't for the foul, Houston put up a good fight until the last second of the game. James Harden haunted his former team with this three-pointer.

Harden does this against sub par teams takes advantage when he cans. Still think this version of the Clippers barely hits .500 on the year, it doesn't seem like a solid team. Just a bunch of good/star vets and trying to get them to all play well together. Too many Chiefs if you ask me.

Watching this In-season tournament deal right now...just feel really odd. Watching my Chicago Bulls facing off against the Orlando Magic. The court is painted all red which is actually kind of cool.

As for me, the color of the court looks too bright, and I personally don't like it because it distracts from the performance of the teams. I don't know if the players are comfortable playing on such a court and if it somehow affects their performance in general, but I think the fans, especially in the upper rows, are unlikely to appreciate this coloring of the court.

I don't like it either. It looks very weird on tv and it is hard to watch the actual game. Just hard to see. For the players, it must be somehow ok because I didn't see anyone complaining. Maybe from the players' angle the light coming from the ground is not disturbing their play. But definitely weird on TV. It looks like something weird from a sci-fi movie.

Once again, OKC managed to beat Warriors Klay played a bit better, not a lot, 16 points all together in 36 minutes doesn't look like he took the lead at all but at least this time Wiggins scored 31 points which was good enough to make them go do better, Curry played as well this time, and he played 40 minutes, nearly all game and still scored just 25.

With all these three together they should have won the game but they still lost at overtime, to be fair this doesn't mean Draymond is there for nothing, he sucks as a player individually and I would not pay even the veteran minimum to him if I was any other team, BUT when it comes to Warriors, his leadership is the only reason he is still getting the big bucks to be fair. Look at the team in terrible condition without him, they are just doing whatever they want, nobody is talking and doing anything, they are much more talented than Draymond, but they are not a team without him which causes trouble.

Maybe Wemby is affected to much on the attention he gets from media that's why he always get distracted when playing a game since on his mind he don't want to commit a mistake since it will be all over in media and fans will criticize him. While Chet is enjoying some low limelight that's why he can focus on his game and became more better player. Wemby situation is hard since he's all over the news so if he will not meet what fans like to see for sure he will be called bust and that provably hurt his feelings.

Wemby should do more better job since he have all the potential and he should never entertain any distraction so he can perform so well on each games he played.

Initially, the fans were singing Wemby's praises, thinking it would fuel his fire on the court and keep those impressive stats rolling. However, things took a turn for the worse. Can't fault the fans for that though, it's par for the course. If they're not feeling a player's game, criticism is bound to follow; if they're enjoying with it, cheers are in order. Now, Chet is at 17 PPG, Wemby at 19 PPG, and they're neck and neck. Still a bit early to make the call, but it seems like Wemby might be facing some tough challenges especially now that the Spurs are at the bottom of the standing with 8 Losing streak.

It turns out Curry was playing; I thought he'd be out due to injury, so that was a surprise. It's a positive for the Warriors since they really need a win. However, the familiar story unfolds, they struggle to protect their lead, failing to contain OKC's big 3rd quarter run. Three quarters down, and the Warriors are only ahead by 2 points going into the fourth. Let's see if the Warriors can pull this off.

What a sequence in the 4th quarter! I thought the Warriors had it in the bag when Wiggins nailed that 3-point shot and there was only 1 second left. But, hold up! OKC called a timeout, set up a play for Chet, and he sank a tying 3-point shot. Darn, we're heading to overtime now. The Warriors are still at risk of losing. This game is intense! Grin

This game made my day after also winning my bets on Milwaukee over Dallas. It's another solid victory by the young Thunder in San Francisco. Tough game but very exciting. Rookie, Chet Holmgren with a buzzer-beater in less than a minute. I still thought GSW's experience would play a crucial role in the overtime but they ended without shots in their last attempts.

OKC has a bright future. And they might even end in the top 4 in the Western Conference this season. And they still have a lot of future draft picks that can supplement the team or support future movements when necessary. So I don't know why someone considers OKC offering first-round drafts in order for Lebron's struggling Lakers to make another super-team. Cheesy

Chet seems to have the upper hand over Wemby in the competition lately. Chet's been stepping up his game consistently, while Wemby's performance has been on a bit of a decline, and his team has been facing some struggles too. In that game, the Warriors had a real chance to win, but it slipped away. If Chet hadn't nailed that last shot, the Warriors would've been celebrating, breaking their losing streak.

I think the Warriors are holding up fine, and I was impressed with what Wiggins have showed in that match. He hit his season high with 31 points, and his shot selection was on point, going 12 for 19.

Looking ahead, the Warriors are gearing up to host the Rockets in their next game. Should be interesting!

@ YuginKadoya - maybe you can call it chemistry issues with the Bulls, they they still have the core of Lavine, deRozan, Caruso and Vucevic, so they are still intact. But there might be internal problems that we might not be aware of and that's why this trade rumor surfaces.

Yup! probably that they have issues that we haven't seen as I think Zach LeVine is not a showy kind of guy and it is not likely to be seen in public but deep inside there could be a problem within the team, and yes there are some YouTubers are spreading the rumor's that the Chicago Bulls wants to trade Zach LeVine and that rumors might be true because it is spreading like wildfire and we all know the internet there is no stopping it getting into the team of the Chicago Bulls especially Zach LeVine,

Quote from: OgNasty on November 16, 2023, 04:59:58 PM

The Lakers are “showing interest” in Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, & Alex Caruso. Basically, the Lakers are going to try all they can to get a win out of the Bulls need for a rebuild. With Anthony Davis having shown interest in going to Chicago, something big could be happening with this. Getting Zach LaVine and Caruso while dumping Anthony Davis would be a huge win for them in my book.

I really don't know about the Lakers if that is true but right now the Chicago Bulls might be rebuilding their team with newer ones as we all know the Chicago Bulls are now interested in the young ones as if they can get a talented one they can work from there in building the team and for sure that players don't need any max contract at all, so it will be less payment for sure but a low chance in getting into the playoffs or winning the finals for sure,

Quote from: EFS on November 16, 2023, 10:50:59 PM

Easy game for Thunder. Warriors without Curry is already tasteless, they don't have Green as well. Klay plays awful and Payton is injured now. Warriors can only score with Looney and Kuminga, which is quite contradictional for them. Warriors can't compete against Thunder with only points in the paint. SGA started good, I expect an early Thunder win by 20+ points margin.

Stephen Curry did play but still, the Thunders won the game and my bets were quite awful this time as all of my bets were lost it was a frustration for sure but anyway, the Golden State Warriors got a really close game but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has hand them down the big lost,

As strange and meaningless as the in season tournament may seem to us, the players do seem to actually care. LeBron who is notoriously cheap even said he was trying to win the $500K bonus for winning the tournament and said he would use it to finally upgrade to a Spotify premium account (you know he’s still too cheap to do that).

The Lakers are 3-0 so far in tournament games.

It's even surprising that the Lakers are performing so well in the in-season tournament. By the way, the Lakers have only one game left in the group stage, which will be against the Jazz. The Jazz doesn't seem like a difficult opponent for the Lakers, and I expect the Lakers will be able to beat them easily, thus guaranteeing themselves a first place in Group A (West) and a spot in the knockout round.

Looks like the Warriors just dropped their 6th in a row. So brutal to take the lead in the last seconds just to end up going to OT and getting spanked. I think relying on that 3 pointer is killing the Warriors. They took 46 shots from 3, while they made 18 of them it's still not the greatest strategy. If you are going to be shooting that many threes, you have to really crash the boards and have a big edge in rebounds. Probably doesn't help with the Green suspension either.

The Warriors' strength used to be their 3-point shooting, but unfortunately, many teams have caught up; they're good shooters now too. The sad part for the Warriors is that, while they keep improving their shooting, they haven't focused much on enhancing their inside defense. This leaves them vulnerable against teams with dominant big men, like OKC with Chet, the tall guy who forced the game into OT.

They're on a 5-game losing streak at home: one against the Cavs, two against the Wolves, and two against OKC. It doesn't look good, man. Tough times for the Warriors.

Indeed, tough times for them. The 1st half was looking good, especially for Wiggins, Klay, and Steph. But in the second half, Shai and Chet Holmgren dominated the offensive line. I am running out of trust for the Warriors as all those losses that they had included my losing bets.
I don't think I am going to bet for them until I see some changes. I know Steph could be lethal and now I see Wiggins stepping up his game, but Klay seems to be stuck after a good start.

Who watched the Minnesota Timberwolves versus the New Orleans Pelicans?
It was damn hot up to the end, a very close game with so many players in foul trouble and some are fouled out. The defense was at a high level that's why. But Karl Anthony Towns saved the day for the Timberwolves and claimed the win without Anthony Edwards after he was fouled out. I am glad for KAT, their team is working fine and every player makes the other look good every game. It won't be easy to defeat that team.

Yeah he's playing but not very effective, the game is more like Wiggins vs. Holmgren. OKC came from 18 points behind and almost won the game, but Warriors didn't give up. Wiggins made a 3 when 1.6 seconds left but Holmgren replied with same. Now we're heading to overtime.
I don't know what's the problem for Warriors when they play at home, they are already 1-5 and close to make it 1-6. It's hard to explain this when you watch their games.

I agree, it doesn't really look appealing to me to have these type of courts, basketball court is made of wood, let it show that and let it be wood colored, as much as possible, even the regular courts are not too much wood-like how it used to be, but it's fine, this? This is way too much if you ask me and needs to go back. To be fair, NBA has a big rating problem, it is getting less and less viewers, and they think that they could change some stuff, first all-star, now this tournament, like if they could just change some stuff or add new things they could get some added attention.

However, who was the first person that thought "if we can put an in-season tournament, we would get extra views? It was obvious from the first moment that that wouldn't be the issue. I mean the way the game is played right now is the issue, stop making offense a priority and just let the players play, bring back hand-checking and you got yourself old-school watched amazing basketball, just go back to basics, changing something doesn't increase the ratings, changing stuff is the reason why it went lower.

Might be one of the final games we see DeRozan, Vuc, Lavine and potentially others, so I'm going to try and enjoy it..but it is truly time to move on and they all could make for VERY nice fill in pieces elsewhere. Anti-up boys and girls, give my bulls some young talent! Cheesy

I actually find these courts hard to watch on. I know it's a promotional opportunity it just feels like more of a Harlem globetrotter thing than and actual nba game. I'm starting to feel like the old man who can't deal with change lol. I kind of like this in season tournament puts a little juice into the beginning of the NBA season.

The Lakers played against the Trail Blazers and managed to win the game with a very large points advantage. In the first period the Lakers managed to win by a difference of 7 points, in the second period the opponent did well in defense and managed to improve in their attack, meaning the Lakers managed to win by just 3 points, in the third period the opponent continued to be better and came away with a 3-point victory, it seemed that in the fourth period the opponent would be able to dominate and win, but the Lakers managed to do better to the point of winning by a 5-point difference. with that the lakers were the winners of the game

Well, the Blazers are going through a very bad period, with this defeat they have 6 consecutive defeats, and a very poor result, and looking at the Blazers' next opponent, I honestly see that it will be the seventh consecutive defeat for the Blazers. I don't know what is happening with the team to have this bad performance consecutively, but I think they need to find out where the problem is and correct it as soon as possible, because the number of defeats is only increasing and the opponents they have in front of them are not I will make it easier for them
